Upper middle class couples want cheap nannies/maids/gardeners.

The general public is probably still largely ignorant of Hillary’s true position on immigration. While many Americans know that Hillary supports an insane 500% increase in Syrian refugee admissions, I’d bet most don’t know that she also supports a massive increase in overall legal immigration.

Anyone who supported the Gang of Eight bill, or anything like it, supports doubling legal immigration to over two million per year. Americans overwhelmingly oppose increasing legal immigration, but Democrats have never really been made to pay for being so out of touch with Americans and holding such extreme views. Unfortunately this is due largely to the GOP elite agreeing with the Democrats in wanting to increase the annual inflow of future Democrats, and so Americans have not been presented with a choice until (maybe) now. Trump has been a welcome change on immigration from Bush, McCain, and Romney, but even he hasn’t really hammered Hillary on holding views on increasing legal immigration that are so opposed to what Americans favor. Well, to be fair, he has hit her hard on the Syrian refugees, but not on overall legal immigration.
